Which Boss Drops Chlorophyte?

To answer the question Which boss drops Chlorophyte?, it is essential to note that Chlorophyte Ore itself does not directly drop from any boss, but rather it can be found in the Underground Jungle after Hardmode has been activated, which requires defeating the Wall of Flesh. The ore’s availability is further dependent on the defeat of the three mechanical bosses to allow its mining, making these bosses indirectly crucial for accessing Chlorophyte.
